An Accidental Job

Started out as a favor to a neighbor, and now, she’s, earning the extra income, and it gives her something to do with her spare time, helping a neighbor out, too many benefits to count up here!  Translated…

Seeing how my neighbors, the Chen got into it of late over the care of the aging Mrs. Chen, I was reminded of the year that my own mother had a stroke, how I’d, shouldered her care for twenty whole years, how hard I’d been, tried.  My mother’s systems, deteriorated with the passing of the years, and I was, completely, strained too hard already, to the point that my marriage was in crisis too, thankfully, my younger sister offered that hand, to help me out.  So, I totally, empathized with my neighbor’s troubles.

Mrs. Chen who’d lost her husband at the beginning of the year, she’d suddenly, fell, and her families took her to the doctors, and it all, checked out, it wasn’t physical, the families were told, that it was the depression from her losing her husband that’s caused it.  Every day before her daughter-in-law was off to work, she’d put the lunch she’d prepared into the rice cooker, and the suppers, after her daughter-in-law comes home, then prepare, there was nothing wrong with this kind of an arrangement, but, Mrs. Chen felt that the foods weren’t hot enough, and had always used the gas stoves to heat up the foods.

That day, the soup was heating on the stove, she’d fallen asleep, almost caused a fire.  The cookware got burned, that’s no big deal, but she’d, burned herself too.  As she’d called out to me over the fences, she’d looked, horrifying.  So I’d, made the simple rice balls for her to consume, then, helped her clean up the burns in the kitchen.

And that evening, her son came home, used the beliefs of how it would be safer for her, disregarded Mr. Chen’s objections, shipped her into the nursing home, the two fought really hard.  Thankful her daughter-in-law was a good mediator, thought of asking me to deliver her meals for a few days, to wait until Mrs. Chen’s injuries were completely healed up, then they would, discuss it/

The following day, I’d gone to her home, to deliver the meal to her, she was, more animated, more talkative than usual, I imagine that she’d been left alone on her own, with nobody to listen to her, she’d, smiled more than usual.

For the days that followed, sometimes, I’d, eaten with her at her house; sometimes, she wanted to cook the foods herself, I became, her assistant chef, and commended her on her excellent cooking skills, it’d made her really happy.  And for the time being, I’d, become confused, if she’s the one needed the companionship, or, was I?  During this time, after her son calmed down, and thought it through thoroughly, he’d not felt right, sending his own mother into a nursing home, and saw how spirited his mother became during the daytime with my companionship, the couple came, and discuss with me on continuing my meal delivery to his mother.

It was no big deal to me, and it was enough, to not get Mrs. Chen into a nursing home, the younger generations felt safe and secure to work, being in my empty nest, I’d found my extra income, and got some focus back into my own life, four birds, with just, one, stone!  I love this new job I got, by, “accident”!

And so, because the elderly woman needed someone to look after her, to check in on her, and her son and daughter-in-law can’t watch her around the clock, the neighbor was called in to assist, and that just showed, how important, it is, to have people you can have as support, when you need them to be, which is why you need to, establish that good connection with your neighbors on a regular basis, because you never know, when they will be that needed helping hand for you, and this way, the elderly woman didn’t have to get moved out of the familiar environment she’s living in, her own, home.

Hou No Longer Needed to Lower Himself Down

On Terry Go’s attempt, to CONTROL this country, for the sole purpose of, more power under his, control…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

As Terry Go announced his running for presidency, there was no miracle, he was still at the bottom of the polls, and it’d only, made Lai who’s at the top, getting higher still.  Based off of the surveys by the Beautiful Island Telegraph, Hou and Ke were both at seventeen-percent, and, Ke was impacted more by Go’s announcing his running for presidency.

Terry Go with the mayor of Hsinbei City, Hou…photo from online

These past few days, words were out, “the three from the party not in part are finally having a chat”, and the time of this “chat” happened yesterday.  But, nothing happened yesterday, Hou stated that he’d not gotten the “note” to meet.  In actuality, how many times, the three were running into each other at the temples, and they’d, “missed” each other intentionally, why would they need to set up the special meeting date?  Go’s claims of “we’re all buddies”, was nothing more than his telling Hou and Ke to BACK down so he can run.

Forward another day, Ke and Go had, met up at the cab driver’s guild’s offering ceremonies, they’d bumped into one another for a whole of twenty seconds.  The split second greetings, was the means of Ke, a casual, “What’s up”, shake of the hands, and, a bye-bye, then, split.  Four years ago, Ke was left hanging dry, and this year, he got stood up at the Kinmen’s “swear to defend”, and this time, Ke wised up, in and out.  While Go still hung on, hoping, that they will share a chat over a cup of milk tea another day, Go just won’t let go.

The words stated “we’re in this together”, but the actions were “split”, calling out, “let’s share a cup of coffee”, but he’d switched the drinks to “milk tea”; and we the people are growing tired and weary, watching this, soap opera development, and, if it keeps going, then, the candidates would get forced off of the stages.  To tell the truth, it’s all Go who’s still, longing to hog that stage of performance, for Hou and Ke, they were carrying the weights of their separate political parties, do they have the time, the energy, to keep on, playing this game with this, entrepreneur/president-want-to-be?  Go needs to at least, keep HIS dignity intact, if he can’t win the elections!

photo of Ke and Go, taken separately, then, collaged together…from online

Hou stood outside Go’s home three times, and nobody answered from within, he’d done everything he’s supposed to.  He has no need to, put on the shows with Go anymore!

And so, this still just showed, how LOW the businessman is, all he cared about is what HE wanted, and, when he knew he couldn’t get the nominations from KMT, he’d, started, stabbing the candidates on their backs, and now, he wanted to be friends, to “bring down the DDP, the three of us can do it!”

What the FUCK (don’t pardon me!)???  If the people here vote for this mother @#$%ER (the Donald Trump of Taiwan!), then, the country will totally, get FUCKED up, because from the looks now, Go is going to split up the supporters of the KMT and the Taiwan People’s Party, which will make winning the elections, a hell of a lot, EASIER for the DDP this next time go ‘round.

So, instead of “Let’s DESHELVE the DDP”, Go is actually, stabilizing DDP’s position in winning this, next presidential election here!

The DESTROYER of Taiwan, is what Go became!!!

Hundreds of Migrant Workers Got Scammed by the Fake Agent Claiming to Get Them Work

Yeah, it’s, sad, but there are still NO victims, only ENABLERS here still, and these con artists preyed on people’s need to get higher paying jobs to provide for their families back home, and this is, too, awful!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The Taiwanese-Filipino lied that he was a diplomat for Taiwan in the Philippines, conned the Filipino migrant workers to pay him, and set up the false interviews, his Filipino wife, Chen, used her status in the agency to come to Taiwan to scam, and cheated a total of 120 workers a total of over a million dollars N.T.  They were caught by the police and immigrations, five were charged on forgery, fraud, the district attorney’s office asked the courts to have the man, Chen in custody, while the woman, Chen has an active warrant on her arrest from the Philippines.

Based off of investigation, the sixty-one-year-old Chen started in 2020, targeted the Filipino migrant workers who’d wanted to switch to new employers due to the pandemic, guaranteed to them that the jobs would be available to them, received $30,000N.T. to $35,000N.T. from each of the victims, then, set the victims up for the false interviews with his coconspirators, and had the migrant workers paid him $3,000N.T. per false work permit; some of the migrant workers couldn’t pay the amounts, Chen rushed to the dormitory of the workers, and, threated the workers with the knuckle press, and acted like he would stab them with a short knife.  His Filipino wife, Chen conned in the Philippines, claimed that she could introduce those who wanted to find work in Taiwan, and conned each of her victims anywhere from $30,000N.T.s to $35,000N.T.s.  One of the workers paid her at the start of this year, but hadn’t received any news of work, and saw how the fellow countrymen had all found work using the right means, asked for help from the Department of Immigrations.

warning signs that are, overlooked, due to the need to make the cash quick to provide for their families…photo from online

The Hsinbei specialist offices of Department of Immigrations, the police and the Manila Cultural Economic Office here, and the Filipino Migrant Worker Agency worked together, on April 20th of this year, they’d caught Chen at a night market in Taipei, found the torture tool made of wood he’d used on the victims, he’d denied having conned anyone, claimed that he had the agents help him find viable work for the migrant workers.

The police found massive numbers of résumés of Filipino migrant workers, found that there were forty victims here in Taiwan, and eighty in the Philippines who were conned, and they’d lost a total of over a million dollars N.T., in May, June, the four accomplices were all arrested, the suspects claimed that they were fooled into working as interviewers.

So this is what, at least, a FOUR way con: there’s the cheating of the migrant workers from the Philippines, who are all victimized, due to the needs of making money, there’s the cons of getting the fake interviewers from this country, the “vics” here were also, enticed by money too, and, there was this FALSE agency that these con artists set up, and then, the fake work that they couldn’t get for these migrant workers, who were, only trying to get higher paying jobs, to provide for their, loved ones back home.

And these workers that came over to this country do NOT deserve it, but, they were too desperately in need for a higher paying job, as they can’t get that in their own home countries, which made them, easy targets.

There will also be those who will take advantage of the situation like these, to scam, to con, to make money for themselves, and, the jobseekers out there are often, too desperately in need of money that’s why they all get, victimized by these, false work scams.

The Day that Silence Took Over Your Room…

The day that silence took over your room, it’d just, moved in, when your memories are still, residing there.  It’d become, this, squatter, that we simply, couldn’t, SQUAT, A-W-A-Y!

The day that silence took over your room, on the day after you were gone, I’d, shut the door to your room, and, never, went in there again, because, everything was, as you’d, left it, and, that room full of memories became, too difficult for me to, handle, so I’d, selected to, keep it locked up.

how your room was, left, on that day…photo from online

The day that silence took over your room, you’d, stopped breathing, but you were still, living there, I can still feel you, whenever I’d gone in, to retrieve something out.  We’d turned your room, into, nothing more than, that extra, storage space in our, house now.

The day that silence took over your room, you were found, dead in it, and, we, the survivors, were all, shocked at how you’d, ended it, so rash, so brutal, and it took us, a very long time, to paint over the blood stains splattered all over the walls, to replace the carpet, stained, with what’s, left of, you……………

as opposed to this…too neat, too, tidy…like nobody was, living there…photo from online

The day that silence took over your room, it was, very long ago, and yet, it’d felt like only yesterday, we were, sitting, laughing, inside that room of yours, and now, there’s, nothing but dead silence, that lives, there.

TWNIC Investigated & Found that Close to Seventy-Percent of Citizens in This Country in the Past Three Months Had Had the Scam Calls

How it’s up to us, individually, to protect our own privacy when we log online, because the government’s laws to protect the privacies of we the people does, diddily, SQUAT!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The scamming messages are hitting us too quickly now, the Taiwanese Online Report of 2023 showed, that sixty-seven percent of the citizens had received messages from con artists in the past three months, and there were, 3.7-percent of the people who received the messages who fell victim; toward the defenses against the false messages, over eighty-percent of the citizens believed, that the government should set up means to restrict the untrue messages from being sent.

A survey conducted by TWNIC showed, that eleven-percent of the polled are unconfident in handling of being conned, showing how there needs to be related policies to educate the masses on the means of scams, and adding more protection.

“I promise to protect the privacy of the citizens in this country”, and that, would be how “effective” the government is, at TACKLING these, scams…comic from online

On the preventions of untrue messages, although FB, Twitter, and other social media platforms started labeling the questionable messages, but fort-seven-percent of the users told, that they’d not seen the red flags of warning signs, and twenty-percent of the polled stated that they are setting the facts straights as they come across the untrue messages from online, showing that the people are, revising their own behaviors toward the positive side on their online usages.

On the side of social media, FB still holds the highest usage, up to forty-seven-percent, but, there were portions of the users who’d, switched their primary platforms of social media to Instagram and TikTok now.

The professor of broadcasting and technology from Yangming Transportation University, Tao told, currently, FB is still the leader in the primary social media platforms, but, the data showed that the usages are, declining from before.  And, also, because the younger generations are using the social media platforms more, they’re more tuned into their own privacy protections, “the younger generations hold a different interpretation of privacy compared to the older, the cyberbullying that the younger generations are currently undergoing isn’t what the previous generations can understand, which is why this younger generation may be more in tune, more aware of being protected digitally on the side of privacy.”

And so, this is on, how as everything is now, online, we risked our privacy being, invaded, and, because everything had gone high-tech, that’s why, these scam artists, blackmailers, lawbreakers are now, heading online, to do their works too, and, it’s up to our own selves, to defend ourselves against the invasions of privacy, because the government can’t do SHIT, to protect our personal data, just look at all those nude photos, sexually-illicit photographs that got leaked out, in the past, five to ten years, it’s still on the rise, getting higher and higher, and higher, which still showed the LACK of efficacy of the government’s claims of, “We’d done everything to protect the people’s privacy from getting invaded!”

The Air, My Friend

On how we should, want a whole lot, less, the column by Jimmi Liao, translated…

Yes, that Red Apple Over Your Head.

Yes, that Bluer than Blue Sky Overhead.

Yes, that Cloud that’s, Just, Passed by You.

Yes, that Bird that Was Singing & Flying at the Same Time.

Yep, I Love How Simple This, Very Moment, is.

So, there’s, nothing that we should need or want, having only the necessities of life, food, roof over our heads, something we enjoy doing, people to share our lives with, that would be, more than, enough.  And yet, unfortunately, modern day people are often too greedy, just wanting, more, more, and more, that’s why, we are, so, unhappy and, depressed, if we can reduce our wants and needs to a bare minimum………but we can’t, we’d all become, too addicted, to the, materialistic here………

“The Horrid Lover” Pushing KMT Toward the Edge of the Cliff Even More

On how Terry Go ended up bring down Taiwan, with his INSISTENCE in running for presidency, and how quickly he’d forgotten his promise to de-shelf the DDP, working together with the KMT, the LIES out of the businessman’s mouth, and if we get this businessman as president, we can expect that Taiwan turned into, the U.S. under the Trump “regime”!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The founder of Foxconn, Go announced running for presidency in 2024, that he will go ALL out, in fighting for the nomination.  Clearly, Go planned to use his tactics, to force the other parties to sit on the negotiation tables, to gain his support to be nominated as a presidential candidate, because he’d stressed, “in order for me to gain the support, I needed all of the parties that are not in power currently to be on my side, that way, I would have the chances of winning the elections”.

here’s Go…photo from online

And even though, “you can’t predict anything”, and “nothing is impossible”, I’d believed, that the candidate for DDP, Lai can win, without a fight now; because Go’s behaviors, it’s not just turning his back on the KMT, again, severely damaging the supporters of KMT, he’d also, put himself in a bad position too.  Go is successful in business, always believed, that “money solves, everything and anything!”

KMT already issued the news statement, that as the results of the recruiting for candidacy on May 17th, Go had posted on FB, “my heart is with the Republic of China”, stressing that “I will do everything that I can, to help mayor Hou win the elections in 2024, to deshelf the incompetent DDP”, which showed, that Go had already supported Hou in the nominations, that he’d, passed his campaign promises to Hou to have him fulfill them for him.  And, no matter what the reasons, he should not go back on his promises, that’s written on the papers already, to go against the beliefs of fighting for the Republic of China.  And, the members of KMT, if they campaigned for Go, they will be disciplined by the KMT; in other words, KMT had decided to SPLIT up with Go.

Go’s role of the “horrid lover”, he was rushed to play that game, and yet, pushed the other candidates for the other parties, Hou and Ke toward the edge of that, cliff, without knowing it.  The winner is already, predetermined of the 2024 elections, with the parties that aren’t in power, fighting amongst themselves.

and now, compare to Trump…and, don’t tell me that you don’t see the, “resemblance”…photo from online

And so, this is how SELFISH the BUSINESSMAN is, all business cared about is what benefits ME, what’s good FOR me, like Terry Go, a BUSINESSMAN worked, all he’d longed for was the power, and he’d craved it, and now, he’d not remembered his promises of how he was going to, help DISSHELVE the DDP, and run for presidency himself, and he’s going to, split up the votes of support for the KMT, which is already, reduced by his running, and the TPP candidate, Ke, and, as DDP will, take another four years of control over this god DAMN #$%@ING stupid country, this time, it’s Terry Go’s fault, for insisting on running!  But hey, that’s how business people do it, all they care about is what’s good for ME, what’s in MY best interest, and Terry Go IS a businessman, just like Donald Trump, and, Taiwan still hadn’t learned from U.S.’s precedence here!

The Twenty-One-Year-Old Man Pretended to be a Visitor, Sexually Assaulted Someone, Made Threats, Got Charged

How easily, those young and innocent still got, baited by that hook, with the sex predator, dangling the money on the end of that, “hook” there???  And in the end, these two VICS can only blame themselves, for being, too, STUPID (no offense, ladies!!!)…and, this SEX predator is also, really bad too, preying on the innocence of these, women!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The twenty-one-year-old ma, Kuo claimed to be an adult live reporter of the station, SWAG, started hitting on women on the streets of Taipei, claimed that he was doing the street interviews of X-rated activities, that if women can get him to respond to them physiologically in just three minutes, they would win the prize moneys.  Two women had taken the baits, were led to the car, to a motel to molest, to sexually assault, and afterwards, they were both threated by Kuo using the footages he’d kept to extort.  The Shihlin District Attorney’s Offices indicted Kuo on forced sexual assault, and other charges.

Based off of understanding, at the tender age of twenty-one, Kuo had been a repeated offender, he’d used the same wordings to con a woman to a closed in space, and raped her, his first case is still being tried at the Taipei District Court currently, and yet, he’d done the same crimes, using the EXACT same measures a second time.

and, unlike the predators in nature, these don’t even have to work up that sweat to catch their, preys…photo from online

The indictment pointed out, that on January 9th of this year, Kuo started hitting on women at random at Chang-An E. Road of Taipei, claimed himself as the field reporter for SWAG, that if the ladies are interviewed by him, they would get rewarded with money after the interview, a woman trusted him, followed him to the car, Kuo claimed to her, that if she could get him erect by touching his penis for three minutes, then she would win the reward money.

Kuo was suspected of grabbing the woman’s hand, and forced her to touch his penis, the woman found that this wasn’t in-line with what she’d agreed to, told him no, that was when Kuo stopped.  Kuo was recording everything using his dash cam, and afterwards, threatened the victim, that if she didn’t want her face to show, she needed to pay him, and was able to extort $4,000N.T. from her.

In February of this year, Kuo offended again, at a super convenience store on Nanking W. Road, he’d started hitting on a woman, using the same claims of how he was working for an adult entertainment channel, and he’d upped the “ante” to “getting me erect, you can get $60,000N.T. in prize money, if it’s not documented, you will get paid $10,000N.T.”, then took the victim to the hotel, and claimed that if she gets in a “fake porn film” with him, she would get paid $80,000N.T.s, he was suspected of going against the woman’s will, raped her, and threatened her, that if she wanted the footages deleted, she’d had to pay him $6,000N.T.s.

so easy to fool and trick, these women are! Illustration from online

The two female victims, after they were sexually assaulted, they’d worried of the footages leaking out, they’d called the cops, and the police used the statements of the victims, the messages they’d kept in their communication app, the records of wire transfers, confirmed that Kuo had committed the crimes of aggravated sexual molestation, aggravated sexual assault, and threatened his victims for money, etc., etc., etc., he was indicted.

And, all of these VICS, they’re not, actually, VICS, they’re ENABLERS, and it’s due to how FUCKING (don’t pardon me here!), RETARDED they are, that they became, this LOSER, SEXUAL PREDATOR’s, VICTIMS, and, maybe they’re, enticed by the money, or maybe, these vics were just, too inexperienced, too raw, too, unaware, of those, big bad wolves, sexual predators out here, in the, REAL world.

And ladies, DO, wise up, because you are the ones, putting yourselves in these, dangerous situations here, okay?  In the end, you still got, NOBODY else you can blame, for your own, STUPIDITY, for falling for the SHITS that men are, selling to us women!

My Two Young Social Butterflies

Outgoing children, who found a way, to relate to everyone they come across, by being, inquisitive, genuine, and curious of those whom they met in their day-to-day activities…translated…

My four-year-old son, and three-year-old daughter, loved interacting with strangers.  I’m glad, that they’d not, inherited my personality traits, always very, passionate, very, outgoing, to the point, that it was, overboard, sometimes.

The kids would commute by bus to preschool every day, during the commute, they’d sat in the priority seats, and, when they find the opportunities, they’d become, chatty with the fellow passengers sitting adjacent to them, and their starting lines are usually, “hello”, “I’m three years-old”.  And, most of the passengers had been, courteous toward them, and, the older populations, would passionately responded to their inquiries.  Once the people they were interacting responded back to them, my two would grab the opportunity, and started, prodding the strangers, “Where are you going”, “What are you doing”.

Once, a female passenger started up the conversations with my young, the children started throwing out the questions, to “what are you having for supper?”, and they’d continued, “Where are your grandparents?” the woman’s grandparents had passed, and I was, totally, thrilled, worried that it might upset the woman, but thankfully, she was too kind, didn’t get angry, and still kept that gentle voice to them, continued interacting with them.  Her tone of voice was too gently, that I’d never used that gentle a tone with them.  In the society now, I’m too grateful, that there are those who’d, pay close attention to hearing what the children are saying to them.

They were like that with strangers, and, even more so with those whom they know.

Every day after school, I’d taken the kids, waited at the square in front of their school, for my husband to come.  As the kids saw the parents approaching, they’d rushed up to the gates, and started calling out, So-and-So’s parents are here.  And, as the classmates are leaving with their parents, my children would give their classmates a hug, didn’t matter if it’s my son’s classmates or my daughter’s, buy-one-get-one, my two children take turns, hugging the classmates.  Sometimes, my son was way too passionate in hugging his female classmates, to the point of becoming, inseparable, at this time, my husband and I worried, that maybe one day, the parents would call the cops.

After the hug, my son would usually toss out the invite, “hey, let’s play together”.  Then, the ramp became, that instant playground, the games of tag got started, and, the parents of the other children always had to remind their young: time to go, then, the kids would, bid goodbye to their, friends.  My son is quite skilled in social interactions, even the older kids, he’d passionately interacted with, there was an older girl from kindergarten who’d played with them, that they’d become, friends, and, when my son didn’t see her after school, the disappointment you can see, it’s written on his, face.

Recently, something had happened, leaving me in awe of my two children.

While waiting for the bus, my younger noted a foreigner, sitting on the steps of the super convenience shop, sliding on the cell phone.  She’d gone up inquired, “what are you doing?”, the man pointed to the phone, like he was trying to explain something, and my younger daughter didn’t wait for him to finish, then, used that same old line, “I’m three years old”, and showed three fingers out.  And, although the foreigner didn’t understand Chinese, he saw the three fingers, and started gesturing to her, trying to tell her, how old he is.

Then, my daughter handed him the Jello snack I’d just bought, as my son saw, he’d, pulled his out too, and they started, fighting to show the man their Jello.  “Why did you come here?”, “Are you coming here tomorrow?”, although the man couldn’t understand a word, but, his kind tone of voice seemed to have encouraged my children, the two of them, fought to talk to the foreigner.

Later, the man’s Taiwanese friend showed, and became the translator, the man asked if he could have a picture with my children, the children flashed their radiant smile at the camera, and told the foreigner, to come back again.  The bus was here, when they were leaving, they turned their heads, waving goodbye to my children.

My English skills are, way better than the kids’.  But, while they were, too busy, interacting with the foreigner, I couldn’t, talk.  Worrying about my grammar, but the kids, didn’t say a single word, worried about if I’m intruding, too many things to, consider on my part.  But the kids, they’d not blurted out a word, and started up this, genuine interaction with the person.  This touched me, very, deeply.

I’m too grateful to those who were kind toward my children, strangers.  Thank you, for showing my kids, that this world is kind, is, beautiful.

And so, you have these, two outgoing kids, and, because of how young they are, they’d lacked the understanding of the adult world, which made it easier, for them, to interact, in the rawest forms with their external environment.  This showed, that as adults, we sometimes, think too much, sometimes, we need to be more like young children, just, put ourselves out there, to interact with our external environment like they are doing.

Cyber Blackmail

The following message…is playing ME for, stupid, but hey, “honey” (pardon MY sarcasm here!), I ain’t, STUPID, but uh, you A-R-E, for, barking UP the, WRONG T-R-E-E-S here………

“I am a hacker, who’d, successfully, hacked into your, private accounts, with all of your, nude photos, yada, yada, yada………”, that was what I’d found, just now (really!) checking my hot mail account.

And, this son-of-a-……(I’m pretty sure that it was an XY who’d sent this, as men are known for the more OVERT forms of, bullying, of making threats, instilling fears into their, victims???), actually thought that I was young, or naïve enough, to fall for it???  Give me a break here.

Because for STARTERS, the only NUDES I got, were of my boys, in the bath, or of them, flipping their, bellies upward, like how Murphy used to, select that specific PATCH in our yards, and, started with his head, rubbing on it, then, his whole body got turned, BACK to the ground.

and, this is as N-U-D-E, as the photos on my files will, EVER, G-E-T…
